That way, I know I'm always sighted in perfectly. Funny, but I have seen a local builder at a range do just that. Blank paper, shots all over it and a cluster of three is circled and cut out and then probably sent with the rifle. Retired cat herder.

Some going out tomorrow. Drop a PM with your mailing addy. I'll mail two to a customer. The xeroxed supply I have is a bit light. You may wish to darken the central diamond yourself to make these your Master Copy. Then duplicate them in any quantity you like. These are great as 100-yard rifle targets, but also make very good 25-yd pistol targets, I have learned. A front sight fits very nicely on the diamond. Edit to add: AND these are easy to 3-hole punch and file for recording your reloads success or failure. Nice gesture on your part. I'm going to draw up one on your design and make a master for myself if you don't mind. Paul "I'd rather see a sermon than hear a sermon".... D.A.D.

I used them at 100 yards for rifle and at 25 for pistol - a front sight blade just fits in the center of the diamond, giving you elevation, windage, and tilt info.

You can pick and choose which hole is appropriate based on distance and/or shooting iron. Shoot for the middle of the open holes and as long as you don't hit cardboard, the target should last forever... in theory. Or just throw 1/2" washers in the air and show everyone how good you are........ My bullets go through the hole in middle, so nobody can detect a hit.

hanco Campfire Savant Joined: Apr 2011 Posts: 151,845 Likes: 20 Texas	Originally Posted by RockyRaab I drew this one up something like 30 years ago. The white cross in the center just holds a scope's crosshairs, and the small square is 2.5" above center - ideal for sighting in big game rifles. There's a block in the upper left for data/notes and the squares are 1". You can make one up yourself or I'll send you a couple as master copies that you can take to any printer and copy them for a couple pennies each. [Linked Image] I made a bunch of these. Can’t wait to try them
